To save all the sycophants time and effort...this is not about quality. It's about the boycott...and it has been a big failure.
mmfa's goal was to harm Beck/FOX financially and that hasn't happened. How do I know? Easy...mmfa would be trumpeting to high heaven if they had evidence...and they haven't.
MMFA didn't sponsor the boycott in ANY WAY. Their goal was to document the lack of sponsors in an effort to reinforce their efforts to show how little credibility Glenn Beck has.
You and RightON try to claim, without justification, that MMFA is an advocate for a political party or against a political effort. They don't. They fight against conservative media misinformation because it's bad for our nation. It poisons our national discourse, and that toxic misinformation needs to be confronted head-on.
No one has ever suggested that MMFA would ever be able to 'stop it'. Only that they can make more people aware of it so that the nonsense has less power. It'd be great if your side would behave, but until/unless that happens, MMFA will continue to point out the weaknesses of your side.
Again, you're a dishonest broker of deceit. Everyone knows that, Wesley the weasel.
What about revenue generated by Glenn Beck's show. Are you seriously going to try to convince me that this ragtag bunch of second rate advertisers are paying standard rates?
And, if Beck's ratings numbers are so high why doesn't Roger Ailes quickly move Beck into prime time and take advantage of higher advertising rates? They could make a fortune. Nope...can't do that because advertisers are staying away from Beck like he has herpes.
The fact that Beck's ratings are high simply tells me there are a lot of stupid people watching...but there's are a second part to the equation , and that's advertising revenue. And Beck ain't delivering that to FOX.
Dropped Sponsors
Total number of companies that refuse to have ads run on Glenn Beck: 119!
The boycott is working: After advertisers flee, Glenn Beck’s show in the U.K. has run without ads for the past 14 days.
Also, it has been reported that the Glenn Beck show is losing more than 50% of its weekly ad revenue as a result of this boycott. Keep it up!

You suck up to Glenn Beck with your post and then---lo and behold---we're the "sycophants"??? Hahahaha.
That. Is. Rich.
BTW, you are aware that Beck has lost ALL of his advertisers in the UK. Sky [Fox's European arm] has been running news and weather updates. Beck's lunacy has increased greatly over the past month and he has made several references to people "coming after him," and when he's gone. Beck's running scared, Wesley. Watch for his numbers to decline . . . not because of the boycott, but because his lunacy is beginning to turn off many of his core viewers. His recent rant regarding churches who preach "social justice" has already started rumblings in my very church oriented community. His full-out crazy, dishonest and decidedly non-Christian routine is going to come back and bite him in the a**. I hope it does . . . soon. He is dangerous and his false rhetoric is destructive.
BTW, you posted Beck's numbers with two shows which are not in the same time slot as his? Why? Personally, I don't care what an entertainment program's numbers are. If I like it, I watch it. I wouldn't watch Ed Schultz [can't stand him] or Beck [think he is a lying, crazy A**hole] because I'm at work when they are on and I rarely watch the other two MSNBC shows . . . I like REAL entertainment programming in the evening.
